Abstract:
Java SE 8 is the latest eagerly anticipated release of the Java platform that powers much of IBM's software and provides functionality for you to get your work done. In this session, we describe the new features currently under development in the virtual machine and associated libraries and tooling. Come and learn how to be more productive as a developer, use new techniques for exploiting modern hardware to process large volumes of data in parallel, move data efficiently across the network, and exploit the virtualization potential of your data center.
